Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

A simple modification, however, played a guiding role, leading him to explore the mysteries of alchemy and the creation of magical items more deeply.

Dumbledore continued to the next topic, "But the identification of snakes...that's probably a bit difficult."

He looked at Vizette, "There are quite a few kinds of snakes, and some students even have pet snakes... Do you have any ideas?"

After studying for a while, Vizet felt as if his brain had been coated with oil, and he quickly came up with a solution.

"My memory! The memory of that cold voice! Now I know it was the voice of the giant serpent, and all I need is one more mandrake leaf to pinpoint its location!"

“Looks like we’ve overcome another hurdle.” Dumbledore handed Vizet a candy. “Next, the connections between magical items… what do you think we should do?”

“Perhaps we could try Obscurus?” Vizet said. “Using the method in that mural… I can separate a part of the Obscurus.”

“Youth is truly wonderful!” Dumbledore exclaimed. “I never imagined you could actually digest the content of those murals…”

Chapter 161 uses emotions as a fulcrum and happiness as a bond.

In addition to being the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore also held positions such as president of the International Confederation of Wizards and chief wizard of Wizengamor.

When he returned from Africa, a whole host of official business followed.

Dumbledore was extremely busy during that period, almost like a student who hadn't finished his homework before school started.

After he finished these things, the copy of the mural he brought from Africa gradually faded from his memory until he finally remembered it while chatting with Vizette in the school clinic.

"What do those murals tell us?" Dumbledore asked with great interest.

He was actually quite curious about the contents of the mural copy.

It's better to be safe than sorry. If we can master the methods in the mural copies, we can lend a helping hand in time if we encounter Momo Ran again in the future, thus preventing a tragedy from happening.

"Mr. Scamander once told me that African sorcerers call the Obscurus a 'curse of hatred,' and the Obscurus is the 'host of the curse,'" Wizette said.

"The reason for the Obscurus is quite simple: a young wizard who can cast spells but hates magic will attract the Obscurus's attention by suppressing his magical talent."

“Hatred is a negative emotion, and the content in the mural copy is actually related to it. It is a very ancient oblivion spell ritual magic.”

"Compared to a regular Oblivion Spell, casting an Oblivion Spell through ritual magic can greatly enhance its power, achieving the goal of stripping away the Oblivion's hatred."

“A very interesting idea,” Dumbledore praised. “The wisdom of the ancient wizards is worthy of awe and study.”

“Ritual magic is really fascinating,” Vizette agreed. “To perform a ritual to strip away hatred, you also need a magical plant. Headmaster Dumbledore, would you like to guess?”

"Judging from your expression, it should be a magical plant I've encountered before..." Dumbledore said lightly, his fingers interlaced. "Is it the tuber of a mandrake?"

“Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore.” Vezel nodded. “Using the cry of the mandrake root as a medium, the effect of ritual magic is amplified, thereby completing the stripping of the Obscurus.”

"However, this method also has drawbacks. One of the most obvious ones, as recorded in the murals, is that the Silent Ones will lose their talent for casting magic, just like a Squib."

"In addition, the older the Silent One is, the greater the variables they will face when using this method, just like the Sudanese children Mr. Scamander mentioned..."

Dumbledore sighed, popped a honey candy into his mouth, and said, "That is indeed a regrettable thing..."

Vizette continued, “So in the fresco copy, a second method is also recorded… using ‘love’ as a guide to awaken the silent and free them from the erosion of the silent.”

“This method also has its limitations,” Dumbledore sighed again. “The older you get… the more variables you face.”

Vizette nodded, his tone becoming somewhat lower, "So I am lucky to have your help and to have the recognition of so many professors."

The two were silent for a while.

Dumbledore handed Vizet a box of chocolate frogs. "These are all the results of your hard work... I think your inspiration comes from methods related to 'love,' don't you think?"

Vizette exhaled, her tone returning to normal. "Yes, it requires the Patronus Charm... Professor Snape taught me that."

Dumbledore nodded knowingly. "Severus? His Patronus Charm is quite special."

"Palmtop Protector!" Vizet raised his wand and drew a circle in front of him.

He intentionally controlled the range of the Guardian Charm, limiting it to a mere fist-sized area of ​​silver light.

A warm feeling spread from the silver light, making even the principal's office much warmer.

Dumbledore let out a soft breath, feeling more at peace.

Even Phoenix Fox was somewhat tempted, letting out a long, melodious cry, its eyes shining with newfound brilliance.

Vizet waved his wand, and a fist-sized silver light flew up and disappeared into his body.

"'Love' is a powerful force, but my Obscurus is different... It is more peaceful and can be guided by the Guardian Charm..."

A fist-sized ray of silver light emerged from his chest, intertwined with a cloud of pure black mist.

The black and white wands swam back and forth like yin and yang fish, slowly returning to the tip of Vizet's wand.

"The use of the Oblivion Charm in the first set of ritual magic also gave me a lot of inspiration..."

"Since the Obscurial can be separated through the Obscuration Curse, it is also possible to maintain the connection between the Obscurial and the Obscurial by using the Obscuration Curse Breaking Curse."

As Vizette spoke, she changed the way she waved her wand, casting a counter-spell to the Oblivion Charm, "Hanging in the Mind!"

A wisp of black mist was separated, and Vizet used Ancient Magic: Throwing Mastery to guide it with ancient magical power, capturing the black mist and placing it into the amethyst.

The black mist danced merrily within the amethyst, like a moon-obsessed beast encountering moonlight.

"Supported by the Oblivion Charm?" Dumbledore's tone became even more curious, as he vaguely sensed something. "What kind of principle is this?"

"This is a little trick I learned from Professor Lockhart," Vizette said. "Headmaster Dumbledore, you should know about seesaws, right?"

Dumbledore nodded. "An interesting entertainment facility that I've experienced."

Upon hearing this, Wieset's eyes widened, and then he recalled the comment in "The Theory of Metamorphosis and Deformation," which suddenly made sense.

He cleared his throat and returned to the main topic, "Whether it's the Oblivion Curse or its counter-curse, you can think of its principle as a seesaw, and finding the 'fulcrum' is very important."

“When casting the ‘break spell,’ you can find an emotion that resonates with you and use it as a ‘fulcrum’ to ‘lever’ those forgotten memories.”

He pointed to the black mist inside the amethyst, "As long as I don't complete the 'prying' step, the Obscurus will not be completely stripped away."

“I can use this emotion as a bond to resonate with the silent one, thereby maintaining this connection.”

"It seems Lockhart has given you quite a bit of inspiration." Dumbledore stroked his beard, his tone revealing satisfaction.

Vizette remained noncommittal, clearing her throat as she said, "He's a rather...special professor."

“Indeed very special…” Dumbledore looked at Vizet with a smile on his face, “It is not an easy thing to learn real skills from him.”

“I know a few friends who are suffering from amnesia… Vizette, can you help them find their past memories?”

"Find their past memories?" Vizette blinked. "They lost their memories because of the Oblivion Curse?"

Chapter 162 The Abnormal Wandering Ball

Dumbledore nodded and said, "Yes, the extremely powerful Oblivion Curse has left me somewhat helpless."

"What about Professor Lockhart? He's actually quite skilled with Oblivion Curses, so he should be able to break them," Vizette asked.

"Perhaps due to some concerns, he is unable to lend a hand." Dumbledore's lips curled up, a smile that held a hidden meaning.

"Is that so?" Vizet frowned slightly, somewhat understanding the meaning behind Dumbledore's words.

Lockhart's concerns?

The contents of those works...

The things related to Lockhart gradually connected...

Vizette murmured, "I might need some more practice... After all, I've only found a little bit of the trick, and more practice will increase my success rate."

Dumbledore waved his hand. "It's alright! I'm not in a hurry at all... It will take quite a while to find them."

He picked up a cockroach and put it in his mouth. "We can deal with the giant snake threat first, and then we can consider other things."

……

All of Dumbledore's suggestions for improvement have been addressed.

The next step, naturally, is to create more amethyst magic items, put them into use, and place them in key locations within the castle.

Under Dumbledore's guidance, Vizet completed the more detailed blueprints.

Dumbledore also suggested giving magical items an official name.

Vizette wasn't very good at naming things, so she simply referenced the naming conventions of M.S.C. and combined the characteristics of "Sophist's Voice" and "warning" to name this magical item "Sophist's Whistle".

He gave the drawings of the Parseltongue whistle to Fred and George, who were to make the base for storing the amethyst.

Dumbledore also applied for a sum of Galleons for them as funding for this club operation.

With the opportunity to create magical items and legitimately earn income, Fred and George were even more motivated.

However, making the base is a time-consuming and laborious task.

With the curfew still in effect, the two decided to spend their afternoon classes in the corridor with food, only returning to the common room the next day.

Vizette was not busy either; there was still a lot of magic he needed to continue researching, and the forbidden books in the library were also waiting for him to continue reading.

To better utilize the Snake Whistle, he also used spare moments to study the Marauder's Map.

-------------------------------------

No new attacks occurred in the castle, discussions about the secret chamber and the heirs dwindled, and the campus returned to its usual tranquility.

Even on such relatively peaceful days, Percy catching Ron in the girls' restroom becomes a topic of conversation between Fred and George.
